The March/April/May 2014 issue of Rug Hooking magazine features fascinating articles about this beloved craft, from its new innovations to its long-established traditions. Inside, you will find that the final chapter of Debra Smith's 25th Anniversary Rug has been completed and the finished product proudly revealed. Rug hooking teachers like Wanda Kerr, Deanne Fitzpatrick, and Gene Shepherd weigh in on how technology and online tools can be used to change and benefit the way rug hooking is shared with the world, while expert Angela Possak studies how sunlight alters different wool dyes. While your mind is stimulated from the scholarly conversation, your heart will melt from the touching and personal memories which inspired the outstanding patterns hooked by Leslie Langille and Kathy Gaul.
